[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.2] Revert "qemu-img info: show nocow info"

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

This reverts commit 000c4dfff4d7686e2fba3066a477a1290ed60622.

The main reason for reverting this commit before the 2.2 release is that
it adds a QAPI interface that we don't want to keep: The 'nocow' flag
doesn't generally make sense for block nodes, but only for the raw-posix
driver. It should therefore be part of ImageInfoSpecific rather than
ImageInfo.

The commit contains more problems, but unlike the API stability issue
they wouldn't justify reverting it.
